SUMMARY:Honeybear\, the Band
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver’s Honeybear\, the Band kicks up a lotta dust on their old-school road trip through the back roads of American soul\, blues\, and roots. As the music blog B-Side Guys puts it\, “it’s as if the Teskey Brothers decided to collaborate with the ghost of Muddy Waters.” \nFast becoming a cross-country festival favourite\, Honeybear has been recently nominated for a Blues Music Award from the Memphis-based Blues Foundation\, was Roots Music Canada’s “New Discovery of the Year”\, and was one of the Vancouver Sun’s “10 Artists to Watch in 2026”. They’re pretty great to listen to\, too! \nWith Ian Beaty bass and vocals\, Colin Brumelle guitar\, Mike Kenney keyboards\, Tyler Murray drums. \nThanks to the Graham and Gayle Cooke Foundation. \nThere will be tickets available at the door.

SUMMARY:5 Nights in Paradise: Dane
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Edmonton\, Dane MacDonald discovered the dance floor at 15 and never looked back. A record shop veteran\, label head (Common Edit)\, and longstanding promoter\, Dane’s influence on Western Canadian house and disco is hard to overstate. His Vancouver party series Dane’s Dance Emporium became a fixture of the city’s underground scene\, earning him a reputation as one of the region’s most trusted tastemakers. \n5 Nights in Paradise is a late-night series at Ocean Artworks on Granville Island\, running across five evenings of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Co-presented by UV\, Paradise Cultural Society\, and Coastal Jazz\, the series brings together some of the most respected selectors and performers from Vancouver’s soulful underground and independent music communities — artists rooted in the city who have spent years shaping its dance floors\, record culture\, and DIY creative scene.

SUMMARY:James Vickers Band
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 2023\, the James Vickers Band has quickly become a standout on Canada’s West Coast blues and roots scene\, known for their high-energy performances\, sharp musicianship\, and guitar-driven songs by their impressive 16-year-old frontman\, James Vickers. \nA fast-rising Indigenous vocalist\, songwriter\, and guitarist of Gitxaala\, Heiltsuk\, Haida\, and British ancestry\, James began performing at age 11. In 2024\, he represented the Fraser Valley Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis\, and became the youngest artist to host the Queen’s Sunday Blues Jam in Nanaimo. But with the 2025 release of their debut album\, Last Goodbye\, the band’s reach is extending well beyond the bounds of British Columbia. James is joined in modern blues-rooted rollicking by guitarist Carson Maertz\, drummer Sara Varro\, and Rick Becker\, a veteran bassist whose five decades in the blues-rock pocket help drive the energetic grooves of his young bandmates. \nPresented in association with Talking Stick Festival.

SUMMARY:SHEBAD
DESCRIPTION:Called “one of the coolest neo-soul jazz bands to come out of Canada” by CBC Music’s Vibin’\, SHEBAD’s jazz-influenced melodies\, danceable basslines\, and transcendent\, layered vocals synthesize influences like Stevie Wonder\, Hiatus Kaiyote\, Amy Winehouse\, Daft Punk\, and Erykah Badu. Steered in sonic indie-soul exploration by vocalist/guitarist Claire Voy and Ciccio Spagnolo on bass/keyboards/flute\, Guelph’s SHEBAD makes compelling\, ever-curious music with lyrics from the heart. With Emil White saxophone/keyboards/vocals/percussion\, Bella Tian keyboards/vocals\, and Emmitt Leacock drums\, “SHEBAD has a certain kind of effortless synergy. They pour themselves into a jam-y\, porous take on jazz-inflected soul music as a cathartic exercise” (Exclaim!). \nThanks to the Graham and Gayle Cooke Foundation. \nThere will be tickets available at the door.

SUMMARY:Erin Propp
DESCRIPTION:“If you could bottle the purity of Erin’s voice\, singers around the world would line up to drink it” – Tim Tamashiro\, CBC Tonic \nJUNO-nominated\, WCMA-winning singer-songwriter and keyboardist Erin Propp’s 2026 debut album as a band leader is a melody-driven exploration of her jazz\, folk\, and gospel roots. Aptly named The Longing Years\, it finds the Winnipeg-based artist empathically mining lyrical inspiration from the early years of motherhood with a voice that’s equal parts quiet in its acknowledgement of relational struggles\, and passionately impatient in seeking resolve. Co-produced by Joey Landreth (of the Bros. Landreth)\, the record features a jazz trio\, Grammy Award-winning chamber ensemble Attacca Quartet\, and Landreth himself. Live\, she’ll be joined by Julian Bradford bass\, Fabio Ragnelli drums\, and NYC-based guitarist Tristan Clark.

SUMMARY:Wallgrin + Devours
DESCRIPTION:Wallgrin \nWallgrin is the experimental art-pop project of Toronto-based composer\, vocalist and violinist Tegan Wahlgren. Drawing from a background in Celtic fiddle and choral singing\, Wallgrin moves between lush string-based orchestration\, beat-driven pop\, and ornate vocal arrangements. From their 2018 debut Bird/Alien to their most recent album\, Yet Again The Wheel Turns\, Wallgrin’s world-building has always revolved around fantastical and mythological imagery. Called “an innovative artist who is just starting to flex their myriad skills and talents” (CBC Music)\, and a songwriter who “measures up to standards set by art-pop visionaries like Björk and Kate Bush” (Northern Transmissions)\, their spirited and raw live performances have led them to international festivals like Iceland Airwaves\, The Great Escape\, and Tallinn Music Week. \nWith Jen Yakamovich drums\, Elisa Thorn harp\, Nikko Whitworth bass\, Amanda Sum keys/synth. \nDevours \nDevours is the dark synth-pop project of Vancouver-based DIY musician Jeff Cancade. Across five acclaimed underground albums\, including 2023’s Polaris Prize-longlisted Homecoming Queen\, Devours has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity\, body image\, gay politics\, and inner-city queer existence. They’ve toured Canada and the US\, received coverage from Vice\, CBC\, Exclaim!\, and the Globe and Mail\, and brought ecstatic introspection to festivals such as SXSW\, Treefort Music Fest\, Sled Island\, JunoFest\, and more. Exclaim! calls Devours’ subversive and club-bangingly inclusive underground queer pop “unpredictable\, and relentlessly catchy.” Better still\, it’s completely\, irresistibly danceable. \nPresented in association with Queer Arts Festival. \nThanks to the Graham and Gayle Cooke Foundation. \nThere will be tickets available at the door.
